Food Flash! Naked Garbanzo Beans Make Creamier Hummus

For a creamier hummus, remove the skins from the chickpeas (garbanzao beans) prior to making it.

Here’s how

Rinse the chickpeas in a colander under cold water.

Per 1 can or 15 oz chickpeas add 1.5 tablespoons baking soda and place in skillet over medium-low heat.

Stir for four minutes.

Rinse chickpeas under cold water.

Place in large bowl filled with cold water and skins will start to fall off.

Use slotted spoon for skimming.

Tip: Roast some pine nuts in the oven at 350 degrees F. for about 10 minutes or until they turn a light golden brown. Fold these into the hummus after it comes out of the food processor. Be prepared to be delighted..
